Don't Crop Areas Liable To Waterlogging, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The increasing areas of crops being sown in high rainfall districts make it likely that many crcp areas include sections liable to severe waterlogging.
This report presents results of a 1970 trial which clearly show that sowing such sections is not economic.

Growing Plants With Salty Water, C V. Malcolm, S. T. Smith
Growing Plants With Salty Water, C V. Malcolm, S. T. Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
LACK of good quality water in many parts of Western Australia often forces people to use salty water for irrigation and gardening.
This article gives some hints on how to reduce salt damage to plants when salty water must be used for irrigation or gardening.
It includes a table of plants which may be irrigated with water of varying degrees of salinity and lists precautions which should be taken for each group.
Grain Sorghum In The Ord Valley : Three Crops A Year?, P J. May
Grain Sorghum In The Ord Valley : Three Crops A Year?, P J. May
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
High temperatures and ample irrigation water allow grain sorghum to be grown throughout the year on the Ord River Irrigation Area, and observations in 1969-70 indicated that it may be possible in this area to produce three crops in one year from one planting, by ratoon cropping.
This article describes the technique and discusses its possibilities on the Ord.
The sorghum midge, one of the worst pests of sorghum, could well make ratoon cropping impossible, but the midge has not yet been seen in this area.

THOSE summer winds—be they cooling afternoon breezes or scorching easterlies—are no help to the irrigationist.
Where sprinklers are used wind can result in uneven irrigation, reduced yields and spoilt produce.

New Varieties Could Extend The Peach Canning Season, S R J Newton
New Varieties Could Extend The Peach Canning Season, S R J Newton
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE peach canning industry in Western Australia at present has only a limited period of operation, coinciding with the harvest time of the major variety, Golden Queen.
New canning peach varieties tested at Stoneville Research Station could be used to extend the harvest period of canning peaches beyond that of the present standard variety, Golden Queen.
This would have obvious advantages for growers and a canning industry.
The South African variety Keimoes was the most promising canning peach tested. Tests on other varieties are continuing.

Superphosphate Deficiency Raises Pasture Oestrogens, H G. Neil, T. Marshall
Superphosphate Deficiency Raises Pasture Oestrogens, H G. Neil, T. Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A recent field experiment on established pastures at Esperance Downs Research Station has demonstrated a relationship between superphosphate application, pasture oestrogens and oestrogenic response in sheep.
Results of the experiment indicate that on phosphate deficient soils carrying oestrogenic clovers, the levels of oestrogenic materials in the pasture are increased if superphosphate applications are below those recommended for healthy pasture growth.

FARM experience and the results of five years intensive research have shown copper deficiency to be widespread in the south-eastern wheatbelt.
On many areas of the south-eastern wheatbelt, copper deficiency is likely to restrict wheat yields.

Part I - Controlling The Soil Moisture Environment Of Transpiring Plants, Part Ii - Prediction Of Leaf Temperature Under Natural Atmospheric Conditions, Charles T. Haan, Billy J. Barfield, Robert Edling
KWRRI Research Reports
Part I
A technique for controlling the soil moisture potential in the root zone of transpiring plants was developed. The method uses the principles of unsaturated flow through a porous media to develop the desired moisture potential. In the case of non-steady state transpiration, the maximum possible fluctuation in the soil moisture potential can be determined by the techniques presented.
Part II
Two implicit leaf temperature prediction equations were derived from the energy balance approach. The equations define sensible and latent heat transfer from a plant population as a two step process:
- Transfer between the plant leaf and the canopy …

Medium Rainfall Zone Trials Eleven replications of the basic rate of P, rate of SO4-S and S experiments were maintained during 1970 in the 20in - 30 in. rainfall zone. Soil types examined were the very gravelly soils (5 reps, 4 sites), sands or loamy sands over gravel or clay (3 sites) and sandplain soils (3 reps, 2 sites). In all cases except one, fertiliser history was not reliable, but in every case well over one ton of super had been applied. over a period of over 15 years.
Anhydrous Ammonia, M G. Mason
Anhydrous Ammonia, M G. Mason
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Anhydrous ammonia, as the name infers, is pure ammonia, It is kept in a liquid form under pressure and must therefore be stored in special vessels. When pressure is released it changes to gaseous form. Anhydrous ammonia is the most concentrated form of nitrogen fertiliser available. It has 82% nitrogen compared to 46% for urea, the most concentrated solid form of nitrogen fertilisers.

Annual Summary Of Experimental Results 1970-71 - Evaluation Of Pasture Species, G H. Walton
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
During 1970 interest in the small ungrazed Legume Species Trials was reduced to ten trials located in the more troublesome areas. Five of the trials are on the sandy soils of the Midland Plain three trials are in Merredin-Southern·cross region, one is on deep sand at Tincurrin and the other is at Pindar. All thesites are sandy soils on which the sub clover strains appear to perform the best. The newer trials are investigating the value of sub clover cultivars such as Northam A,Mt Helena A, Shenton Park A, and Daglish. These trials will be the subject of a special …

SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER INOCULATION EXPERIMENTS Badgingarra and Newdegate Comparisons between Rhizobium trifolii strain WU290 and possible replacement strains were continued. The work was conducted for the following reasons 1. The need for information on "back-up" strains particularly since the inoculant manufacturers had experienced difficulty in producing high-count peat cultures of WU290. 2. Strain CC2480a had proved very satisfactory in the Eastern States. Although it did not show up to advantage under our conditions in 1968,further testing was indicated. 3. The need for information on inoculation needs on old land.
